the next day.

Hardy first came to Wells Fargo to inspect. Wells Fargo's office was originally a foreign-funded bank in Central, Hong Kong Island, which is the famous Hong Kong Financial Street in later generations.

Sandy Weir, the president, reported to Hardy about the business development of Fuguo in Hong Kong this year. Generally speaking, it is stable.

Although there is also HSBC in Hong Kong, Hardy's division of labor between the two is different. HSBC is facing the business of the whole of Hong Kong, while Fuguo is the core engine of the Hardy Group.

In the future, the group's funds in Hong Kong will mainly go through the line of Fuguo, so that Hardy's industrial core in Hong Kong will not be so easy for others to understand.

After coming out of Wells Fargo, Victor and Sandy Will accompanied Hardy to HSBC Bank, which is also on the Central Road, only a few hundred meters away from Wells Fargo.

The convoy came to the gate of HSBC.

All the high-level executives of HSBC, people above the manager level were all waiting in line at the door. There were dozens of people. They knew that it must be a big shot, which attracted the surrounding customers and curious people to stop and watch.

Hardy gets out of the car.

HSBC President Saunders stepped forward immediately.

The people who watched the excitement said, such a big show, to welcome a young man, this young man must have extraordinary background.

At this time, someone beside him whispered: I read the newspaper, this should be Mr. Hardy, only 28 years old this year, already one of the richest tycoons in the United States.

Oh, so this is Mr. Hardy. I heard it from others. Recently, many people are discussing the Hardy Group. I always thought that Mr. Hardy would be an old man. I didn't expect him to be so young, only 28 years old.

After everyone greeted for a while, Hardy didn't enter the door in a hurry, but stood downstairs in the HSBC Building and stopped to watch.

The current HSBC Building is the third generation. It is a 13-story building with supporting buildings on both sides.

There is a pair of bronze lions at the door.

This pair of copper lions is very famous. It is said that there were two copper lions at the headquarters of Shanghai HSBC Bank. Later, during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, due to the shortage of supplies, the two copper lions were taken away to prepare for copper smelting, which shows how scarce they are.

Then the atomic bomb came down,

Japan surrendered, and the U.S. military found the pair of copper lions in the warehouse. Knowing that they belonged to HSBC, they changed them back, and the two guys returned to their posts.

There are rumors in later generations.

The Bronze Lion was relocated, and Hong Kong suffered.

It moved once during the Japanese occupation, and Hong Kong was unlucky for three years. Later, HSBC was rebuilt. In 1983, the old HSBC Building was demolished, and the Bronze Lion was temporarily moved away. Hong Kong suffered a stock market crash and the stock market plummeted.

There is another argument.

It is said that HSBC occupies the Dragon's Cave at the foot of Cheqi Mountain. This lair is called Tianma Yincai. , The copper lion is used to block the brakes.

certainly,

These are superstitions.

Hardy is~~I really fucking believe this.

He can be reborn into this world. Originally, these things were impossible to believe.

When choosing a site for the museum before, some Feng Shui masters said that the place was the Dragon's Den of Lion Rock, and Hardy built the museum there without hesitation.

Others didn't know why the big boss stopped and looked at the door, but they all dared not make a sound. After a while, Hardy said: Remember, no matter how this place changes in the future, don't move this pair of copper lions.

There is no such thing as 'Bronze Lion moves, Hong Kong suffers'.

People were a little surprised by the order of the big boss, but they still agreed quickly.

If the boss says he won't let it move, then he won't move. Who would move such a heavy copper lion for nothing?

Hardy stepped forward, patted the two copper lions, Help me watch the door carefully. After speaking, he walked into the building with a smile.

meeting room.

Hardy listened to the report from the management of HSBC. Now HSBC's funds are still tight. Although Wells Fargo and Manhattan Bank supported them with 40 million US dollars, so many people who withdraw money, especially Hardy, let Wells Fargo operate. The sum of money was stolen again.

Although it is difficult, fortunately, it does not involve the issue of survival.

President Saunders's future operations are mainly to tighten money, reduce loans, return funds as much as possible, reduce the bad debt rate, and carry out some activities to increase public confidence in HSBC and re-absorb deposits.

As for the details of the operation, Hardy did not intervene. After Sanders finished his report, Hardy said: Two things. Recently, according to intelligence, more and more people from the Mainland are coming to Hong Kong. These people often have a lot of cash or gold in their hands. Silver, this is a good time to take deposits, and HSBC and Wells Fargo cannot slack off in this business.

Second, the Hong Kong stock market is not very large now, because there were three stock exchanges in the inland area, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Beiping, and the financial center is in Shanghai. You all know the situation now, and my idea is to make Hong Kong the No. 1 stock exchange in the East. Two financial centers.

The current Hong Kong Stock Exchange is too small. There are only more than 30 listed companies in total. However, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange belongs to the Financial Secretary. We can't move it. My idea is to re-establish a stock exchange by ourselves.

It can be called the Far East Stock Exchange or the Kowloon Stock Exchange. It doesn't matter. The exchange's account opening bank is listed under the names of HSBC and Wells Fargo. It imitates the US stock market and sets up a financial index to show the rise and fall of the market.

At this time, the Hang Seng Index did not exist.

In the future, companies of Hardy Group can choose to be listed on this stock exchange, and other companies can also be listed here. The types of stocks include shipping warehouses, hotels and restaurants, real estate construction, financial investment, retail, toys, industries, etc. Cultivate the market slowly and make Hong Kong financially active.

A group of executives from HSBC and Wells Fargo kept writing it down in their notebooks.

To be honest, they were a little shocked.

Establishing a new stock exchange and turning Hong Kong into a financial center like Shanghai, the boss has a really big heart.

Now there are many wars on the mainland.

The future of Hong Kong is uncertain.

Many people are worried, including those old foreign firms, who are reducing their holdings of assets one after another, preparing to flee Hong Kong at any time.

And at this time,

How can they not be surprised that Mr. Hardy keeps investing and looks very confident in the future of Hong Kong.

After saying this, Hardy talked about another topic.

It just so happens that you are all here. Here, I will tell you about the industrial planning in Hong Kong, so that you can have a clear outline in your mind.

Everyone immediately sat upright and looked at the boss.

HSBC will operate independently in the future and will only be under the jurisdiction of the HSBC board of directors.

Wells Fargo Hong Kong Branch is a branch of Wells Fargo Bank and is only under the jurisdiction of Wells Fargo Headquarters.

The HD Security Hong Kong Branch is also a branch of HD Security \u0026 Defense in Hong Kong, and is not under the command of others.

There are also Global Times and ABC TV and radio stations, which are only under the jurisdiction of the superior.

As for the rest of the industry, a Hong Kong branch of the Hardy Group will be formed. This company is in charge of Victor. The industry includes all companies in the Kowloon Tong Industrial Zone, the penicillin company, the auction company, the Hardy Real Estate Company, and the companies that have emerged in the future. New company.

As long as it is not under the direct control of other branches of the group, it belongs to the Hong Kong branch.

Many people say.

The shelf of this Hong Kong branch is actually no different from that of the group company.

Leaving HSBC, Victor was also sitting in the car, Hardy said to Victor: Look back and see if there is a suitable building, buy it for the branch headquarters, you, the branch president, don't have to squeeze in the auction company.

There are a bunch of vice presidents and managers under you, as well as a dedicated financial and legal team. You need to have a suitable residence.

In the future, Yizhen will be stationed in Hong Kong. She likes antiques. She will still be in charge of the auction house in the future. After you find the headquarters, Yizhen will be there. Hardy said.

I understand the boss, I will find a suitable place as soon as possible. Victor said quickly.

This auction company seems to be the boss who got toys for Ms. Han from the very beginning. This is the case in the United States, and it is also the case in Hong Kong.

In fact, if it weren't for this auction house, I would not have had the opportunity to come to Hong Kong, and it would be impossible to achieve my current achievements.

So from the bottom of his heart, he is very grateful to Han Yezhen.

Back to the half-level villa.

It was still afternoon, the sun was warm, Hardy and Victor were chatting in the backyard, and the servants brought coffee and snacks.

After taking a sip of coffee, Hardy said, Victor, where do you think is better to build a racecourse in Hong Kong?

Victor was slightly taken aback.

The boss's thinking is always so active, so he jumped to the horse farm again.

You want to build a racecourse in Hong Kong?

Hardy smiled softly, Didn't you notice that the Hong Kong Jockey Club has gathered all the upper class people in Hong Kong, and the Jockey Club has become a collection of rights. We, the Hardy Group, need to have more power, so we have to be in the Jockey Club Have a certain right to speak.

Establishing a racecourse is only the first step, and the next step is to join the Jockey Club and become another racecourse of the Jockey Club. What I want is the right to accept members of the Jockey Club.

Now the Jockey Club has very few Chinese members. In the future, we can absorb a large number of Chinese members and become a new force. When our company grows, the overall strength will gradually surpass those old foreign firms.

Victor finally understood what Hardy meant by building a horse club.

Boss, we still have a large piece of land in Sha Tin, do you think it's okay to build a racecourse there? Victor asked.

Hardy was slightly taken aback.

History always surprisingly converges in the same direction.

Isn’t Sha Tin Racecourse the second racecourse in Hong Kong in later generations? Now that land has been bought by Victor, and Hardy wants to build a racecourse, so that is naturally the object of consideration.

Hardy thought about it but shook his head,

No, do it here in Kowloon, find a piece of land bigger than Happy Valley, and build a new racecourse, and talk about Sha Tin later. Hardy said.

It is inconvenient to go to Shatian now, the distance is far and you need to cross the mountain, there is no tunnel now, Kowloon is not as crowded as later generations, you can take out a large piece of land, I have already told Ge Lianghong that I want to buy land, so I will build it in Kowloon here.

There is a large population here, and it will be much more convenient to start horse racing in the future. As for whether the Hong Kong government agrees with it at that time.

it doesn't matter,

The big deal is to open a casino in Macau, using the telephone betting mode, horse racing in Hong Kong, horse racing in Macau, and telephone betting, perfectly bypassing geographical boundaries.

Moreover, building a racecourse in Kowloon also serves the purpose of enclosing land for horses. Now it occupies a large area. When the land here is tight in the future and needs to be taken out, it is estimated that the roads in other parts of Hong Kong have been repaired and cars have become popular. At that time, I will consider relocating to Sha Tin to vacate the space for the racecourse. It is estimated that it can be sold for tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

This is the case for many families in Hong Kong in later generations.

There used to be a company, but it didn't make much money. In the end, it sold the land for more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Still one of the ten richest people in Hong Kong.
